Maths Week England 2025 - Student Webinar

Duration: 40 minutes

To celebrate Maths Week England, 15-23 November 2025, we will publish one Primary and one Secondary task each weekday on our dedicated Maths Week England 2025 page. To help prepare students for tackling our problems, in this webinar, we will work on a problem together with students and highlight the key skills that they may need to draw upon during the week.

Booking Information: please read before registering

Join Liz and Charlie from the NRICH project at the University of Cambridge for a chance to work collaboratively on some of their favourite problems.

This live webinar will be taking place during Maths Week England, but we welcome schools from further afield. Please note this event is open for school bookings only.

This webinar is designed for group or whole class participation, so teachers just require one registration for their whole class to participate.

Suggested classroom setup

We suggest teachers set up a computer and a projector to display the live feed to the whole class, who can work on the problem in small groups while the class teacher submits students' work via the Zoom Chat facility. Students will need pen and paper, or whiteboards.

If you have access to a class set of tablets and wifi, then you may wish to have them available too, but they are certainly not essential. We will alternate between thinking time and discussion time, bringing everyone together at various stages during the session.

On the day

The event will be hosted on Zoom. The Zoom link will be emailed to all registered teachers before the event.

Please note that once the session has started it may not be possible to admit latecomers.

NOTE: Please read the NRICH code of conduct policy before you book https://nrich.maths.org/code-of-conduct-students
